Main Vich Main Na Rahi Rai
Not a Grain of Me Remains
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Not one grain of me remains.
मैं विच मैं ना रह गई राई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
When union comes, its sweetness cannot speak.
जद वसल वसाल बणाएगा, तद गुंगे दा गुड़ खाएगा,
No head, no feet of self remain; no other made me this.
सिर पैर ना आपना पाएगा, मैं इह होर ना किसे बणाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
My eyes serve yours and see across a hundred leagues.
होए नैन नैणां दे बरदे, दरशन सै कोहां तों करदे,
They hurry, frightened, every breath; your lure has led me astray.
पल्ल पल्ल दौड़न मारे डरदे, तैं कोई लालच घत भरमाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
I have made my home in oneness, with wonder for a neighbour.
हुन असां वहदत विच घर पाइआ, वासा हैरत दे संग आया,
Birth, death, life fall away; no knowledge of myself remains.
जीवन जंमन मरन वंजाइआ, आपनी सुद्ध बुद्ध रही ना काई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
I thought love easy—a clear rush of four rivers.
मैं जाता सी इश्क सुखाला, चहुं नदियां दा वहन उजाला,
Now fire, now frost; each day absence lights its flame.
कदी ते अग्ग भड़के कदी पाला, नित्त बिरहों अग्ग लगाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
Love's great drums beat daily; lovers run toward the sound.
डेहों डेहों इश्क नक्कारे वज्जदे, आशक वेख उते वल्ल भज्जदे,
The cords of shame snapped one by one; love came, and shame was gone.
तड़ तड़ तिड़क गए लड़ लज्जदे, लग्ग गिआ नेहुं तां शरम सिधाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
Enough, my love, enough—yet your love alone consoles me.
प्यारे बस्स कर बहुती होई, तेरा इश्क मेरी दिलजोई,
None is mine but you—no mother, father, sister, brother.
तैं बिन मेरा सक्का ना कोई, अंमां बाबल भैन ना भाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
Now seated in heaven, now bearing the world's pain,
कदी जा असमानी बहन्दे हो, कदी इस जग्ग दा दुक्ख सहन्दे हो,
now the tavern's elder—you alone have made me dance.
कदी पीरेमुग़ां बण बहन्दे हो, मैं तां इकसे नाच नचाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
Your absence is my room; deep suffering has crossed its floor.
तेरे हिजरे विच मेरा हुजरा ए दुक्ख डाढा मैं पर गुज़रा ए,
Turn once toward my offering; my whole self circles you.
कदे हो मायल मेरा मुजरा ए मैं तैथों घोल घुमाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
For you I came to this; you shut the doors and slept.
तुध कारन मैं ऐसा होया, तूं दरवाज़े बन्द कर सोया,
I stand before the secret door; acknowledge me, my love.
दर दसवें ते आण खलोया, कदे मन्न मेरी आशनाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
Bulleh offers all he is; his only trade is seeing you.
बुल्ल्हा शहु मैं तेरे वारे हां, मुक्ख वेखन दे वणजारे हां,
Do you love me even a little, or is my offering vain?
कुझ असीं वी तैनूं प्यारे हां, कि मैं ऐवें घोल घुमाई ।
Since I fell in love with you.
जब की पिया संग पीत लगाई ।
